Props for going through that monster thread. I've done it twice, in multiple pieces both times, and I think I finally got my drop plan figured out. It's very mild (Sedan Sport rears and Coupe fronts, I live in snow country), but I'm worried about needing a camber kit. I just put Bridgestone RE760's on my car, and don't want any negative camber wearing them out too fast. And I don't feel like spending another $400+ just so I can put $100 worth of springs on the car and only get a mild drop.

Lumpia, do you think I'll need a front camber kit if I drop it on Coupe springs? The rear I'm not too concerned about since the Sedan Sports should only drop it about a half inch.

 

I still have my stockers, let me know if you need them.

 

Got your addy right here in front of me. Just been too busy (uhh, and lazy) to get the Coupers sent out. How are you liking the new springs?

 

Love them!!

 

I think you can get buy on coupes. I'm a LOT lower in the front but so far after 4k of driving fronts are good. rears are not so. But i'm trying to wear out my rears. Go in for an alignement and have them set front TOE so a dead 0.00 and your good. As toe wears faster then camber to begin with and almost every car has tierods for the fronts so you can adjust toe for it.

 

I was just about to say that. Its not the camber that wears it down faster its the toe

 

FlyingLumpia im waiting patiently on your msg about your home made coilovers :]

 

ok so i picked up some revised 350z springs and 2004 sport sedan springs.

From what im told:
-sports will lower car .5 inch and have a stiffer spring rate which means improved handling.
-revised springs will lower car 1.5 inch and will also improve handling.

If i put the sport sedan springs on for now (winter is coming) will i need front or rear camber kits? Will i need an alignment? Is this just as hard on my struts as the revised springs?

Thanks everyone
